They formented the breakaway region exactly as how the faux secessionists are doing to Alberta and the US has always had an interest is breaking Quebec and Canada up. Although they are much better at Alberta "culture" than Quebec culture.

    What is this term you speak of "Alberta 'culture'", I've lived in the province for a long time and don't understand.

    There is a reason one of them is in double quotes and the other is not.

    Sadly they didn't interfere with Québec's referendums on independence as much as the federal government did :(

    If you think for a second they didn't have anything to do with it I happen to have a USB full of bitcoin Id like to sell you.

    Didn't say that. It's pretty much admitted now that the federal government did a lot of shady (as in, illegal) things to prevent Québec from winning the referendums. Kinda funny to think about the US as being pro-self-determination for once, and Canada being the oppressive, anti-democratic guy.

    Pro-self determination by making a three paragraph question out of "do you want to separate from Canada" that imagined all sorts of insane agreements that could never happen.

    Also, the US interfering is anything but self-determination. Just look at their other "pro-self-determination" interferences; it is delusional to imagine that a separate Quebec would be any different.

    And everytime they try and have a vote they never show the result of said vote, likely because it would show its not working but they keep it under wraps try again, every fed pole they do show roughly 75% to 70% disagree with leaving Canada and it's remained static. Not concerned and will be happy when smith is fired.
